I am planning to have two dedicated AC lines run to my system, one for analog and one for digital. It's about 30 feet from breaker to audio room. Was also planning to have each one grounded outside with their own earthing rod.I am wondering specifically what's the best wire & breakers etc. to spec to my electrician. But there must be something better that Romex without going $18/ft for JPS labs wire, isn't there? Other considerations?
BTW, I have a Shunyata Hydra 6 and Shunyata Taipan power cords, for what it's worth. Thiel, Ayre System.
